| dx11332sega said: According to an insightful Wall Street Journal report, Sony is looking to make deals with major publishers in order to put the PlayStation 5 in the best possible position when it launches next year. The publication claims that the platform holder is focusing on major, big budget titles – and it’s lining up both timed exclusivity and exclusive content to differentiate itself. This will likely end up an extension of its PS4 strategy, where it partnered closely with major releases like Destiny and Watch Dogs to give it the upper-hand. If anything, its bargaining power is likely to have strengthened since the launch of its current-gen console, so don’t be surprised if it spotlights some whopping third-party titles when the PS5 is finally revealed to the world. link:http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2019/06/sony_looks_to_be_locking_timed_exclusives_for_ps5 |

this is actually 3 things.
1) More major publishing deals, of exclusivity.
2) Focusing on major budget titles (their own games)
3) knows its own exclusives + timed exclusives, are what differentiates itself (from competitors)
